U should find carbon or black seat backs instead of the silver ones it will tie in very well sick build tho just needs a ducktail 😅

[@plus790]

The CF side panels I can take or leave, but the interior matching armrest and shift boot look way better in matching terra cotta. Also...nice Turbo wheels. Leave 'em.

[@jerehada]

The side panels hurt. I’d leave all terracotta except alcantara.

[@plus790]

@@jerehada I'm not going to say I'm completely immune, but there is propensity among us motorcycle and car guys to do things that improve neither functionality nor appearance. We often do them for the sake of change itself, and I have tried to catch myself when I get the urge.

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

I personally really dislike the wheels, can't wait to see what the new will be

[@CCM911]

Agree with you guys. That terra cotta interior is special. All that black trim mutes the effect. (I hope I used "effect" correctly.)

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

Agreed. The CF stuff doesn't really fit with the terracotta interior. Kinda ricey, IMO. I would have saved my money. I like my interiors subtle, and the OEM Porsche interior is just fine the way it was delivered.

[@robertjenkinson3360]

4:27 Matt. Please do me a favour and buy new seatbelt buckles. Welding changes the material properties of the steel and adds stress to the heat affected zone. For the cost of a seatbelt buckle, it’s a no brainer. Your life is worth far more.

[@P-J-W-777]

Completely agree. The metal is now brittle as it hasn’t been heat treated.

Passenger airbag stage 1 lower limit usually means the first inflator is open or shorted. I would access the airbag connector and test continuity across the loads (inflators). If your meter reads OL, then you know the inflator is done... needs an airbag module. If it's registers a reading, then I would move onto troubleshooting the airbag circuit. good work in this vid.

[@matt13ross]

Do you know which one is the first inflator? I had the main airbag module reset.

[@NSXavier997]

@@matt13ross I think the airbags themselves are two stage- so each airbag has two inflators each. First stage and second stage. You'd need to test both inflators on the passengers airbag. If one of them registers a reading and the other doesn't then you know the problem is the airbag assembly (module).

[@bandwagon240]

I would also agree with this. In addition, I have read that attaching the front tow strap causes a ground fault and throws a code.

[@tzakati]

​@@bandwagon240 Agreed. I've come across this during a routine wheel alignment. Was able hear the slightest hum from underneath the bumper. Client was overjoyed once notified.

[@michael987s2]

i would have to agree with most. the clash of the grey with black carbon and terracotta is over whelming but this is your car. also your arm will stick to that arm rest and it will scratch so easy. also replace the belts. anytime a vehicle is in a wreck or has track use i would replace them. FIA mandates that. and mercedes benz i believe came up with the fuel cooler.

[@neilchirico]

For the air bag, move the passenger seat forward a little and see if that helps. The wiring harness gets stretched too much if the passenger seat is moved to far back. If the light doesn't go back off after moving the seat forward, you may have a broken wire in the harness. Somewhere on KZbin, I watched the cause and repair, so try searching for that. If I find the video, I'll post it here for you.

[@fergusyoung6782]

Just finished up watching the series to date when this video appeared. Love the build and the channel.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much! Good timing lol

[@dailydriven991]

If the numeric shifter is the same as my 991 you should be able to lower that knob assembly quite a bit. It’s a short shift kit by design. Satisfying to see everything coming together!

The top hats do spin like that. In regards to softer springs, youve been driving around with PASM not working. When its unplugged like that it defaults to the stiffest damper settings. Now that its working the ride should be much better. No need for softer springs

Get the airbag wiring diagram test for powers and grounds. Also, I had a car before the connector wasn’t tight. I had to zip tie it and the light went away.

Question on BMW LS swap; Did you have any vibration trouble. I did a 08 335 swap. I feel it through the entire car, occurs about 5-65. Usually occurs when you're in gear and if you depress the clutch it softens to nearly non existent.

Preload on the front springs might not be properly set which is why you can rotate the coil. Also, you'll need to be sure to transfer the angular bearing, cup and insulator to that assembly. I can't tell by the video but it looks like one or more parts might be missing.

@@matt13ross If you have to take them apart anyway to install missing components, I would go with camber plates. I'm using Elephant racing on mine, and everything I transferred over (cups, insulators and angular bearings) are factory PORSCHE.
